In this 9th book of the Canadian Flyer Adventures, Matt and Emily fly back to 1885 on their antique Canadian
Flyer sled. They soon discover that the circumstances of the historic Last Spike to finish the cross-country Canadian
Pacific Railway are less than glamorous. Confronted with mud, rockslides, and snowstorms in the dark and cold, they discover
they don't have it so bad compared to the dangerous lives of the workers. Can they help their new friend Edward find his
missing buddy? An exciting slice of Canadian history brought to life.
